The purpose of this paper is to explore models that may improve interdisciplinary
collection strategies. Practical alternatives and expansions to existing services that can
be explored without the burden of irreversible consequences will be discussed. This
paper is intended more so as a conversation starter about altering our thought
processes in regards to how librarians carry out their work to meet new demands. It is
not intended to be a guide with proven methods that will work universally. These
proposals are set within the context of a library that is part of a large research institution.International Federation of Library AssociationsUniversity of Toronto, LibraryUniversity of Toronto, Faculty of InformationUniversity of Illinois, LibraryTitle VI National Resource Center Grant (P015A060066)unpublishednot peer reviewe
